Versus – Aguero And Dzeko
Filed under: Members - Posted by: Sir Paulos
While his stamp on Scott Parker may have limited Roberto Mancini’s forward options over the upcoming Gameweeks, Mario Balotelli looks to have made matters a little less complicated for us Fantasy managers. With Fulham, Blackburn and Bolton all arriving at the Etihad between Gameweek 24-27, City’s front line looks primed for investment, with Sergio Aguero and Edin Dzeko vying for our attentions…
In this week’s “Versus” article for members, we take a look at both players’ displays over the last four Gameweeks, analysing their Opta and ICT Index stats, in addition to their overall Fantasy Premier League (FPL) output, to weigh up the pros and cons of their respective acquisitions.

EVERYTHING BLACK ON BLACK, YOU KNOW I BE STRAPPIN' THAT says:
barcas attack makes up for their defence so much it really sint that great a defence

Count Of Monte Hristo says:
They used to look alot more resilient 1 or 2 seasons back but yeah they look vulnerable this season.
January 25 at 10:38 pm
Hate that rotation says:
Pique still a superb defender.

he really isnt do u watch much la liga?

he is better than Evans, who is the reason we sold Pique in the first place :angry:

Pique was like a fish out of water in the Premier League. He might have adapted eventually, but he didn’t look good at all.
January 25 at 10:44 pm
jkisthe1 says:
yet how many last ditch blocks and tackles did he make in those 2 United v Barca finals?
January 25 at 10:43 pm
Hate that rotation says:
Are you kidding? He is f*cking class. And he doubles up as a brilliant goalscorer when needed. Do you watch la liga? How many times he has saved barca with superb interception, last ditch tackle. Composed passing at the back.
January 25 at 10:48 pm
EVERYTHING BLACK ON BLACK, YOU KNOW I BE STRAPPIN' THAT says:
doubles up as a goalscorer??? do u only watch champions league games or something when he scored against inter
he is vulnerable and makes mistakes which puyol used to cover for him but now he is older and slower hence the worsening of the defence
January 25 at 10:52 pm
Hate that rotation says:
I see him covering for puyol. Pique is solid. Defense stats off the chart with interceptions and tackling accuracy. Aerial power. Barca dont concede many goals set pieces because of him. All round composed defender who gets the ball forward with minimum fuss.

ak87 says:
yeah no argument – pique is quality, one of the best centre backs in the world. He’s kept ronaldo quiet on so many occasions

wildrover says:
What’s all this Ba ‘rest’ talk? He’d have played a lot more if he’d stayed at home!
January 25 at 10:39 pm
applebonkers says:
exactly. unless he’s swimming back from africa
January 25 at 10:39 pm
4vets says:
Doubt it… no idea of New’s fixtures though, and he would have been rotated, surely?
January 25 at 10:45 pm
wildrover says:
Well he already missed two Toon games and only played 58 mins today. Not sure how many he got in the first game.
January 25 at 10:41 pm
Hate that rotation says:
I guess you have to take into account the flight, having to check in, frisk your jacket for your passport every five seconds. Sitting in cramped economy standard. Then you find out that your luggage has been sent to venezuela instead. etc. Tiring.

iwillloveitifwebeatthem! says:
so do you reckon he’ll be back for this gameweek?
January 25 at 10:48 pm
jms says:
He still has an ACON game on Sunday. Not likely he will be permitted to skip that!

Equatorial Guinea is only 1 hour ahead though I think so he won’t have any jet lag.

jkisthe1 says:
ok folks (Doos, Corrigan, Vets, RCA) and anyone else who wants to contribute
I had planned on a Schwarzer/Sorensen rotation, but have now been convinced to go with Lind/Krul. So my question is this. My wc team had Santon and Evans in, should I keep both and risk the double up, or should I lose them for Senderos and an other, or should I lose Krul and go Lind/Schwarzer?
Thoughts appreciated lads.
January 25 at 10:41 pm
Doosra says:
Keep Santon, shift Evans, imo. You will normally be playing Lindegaard.
January 25 at 10:43 pm
jkisthe1 says:
not GW24 vs Chelsea I won’t, do they actually rotate Doos, cos surely that’s what you want is to play the guy at home. Who should I get in for Evans? Senderos?
January 25 at 10:45 pm
Doosra says:
Well – can we have this discussion tomorrow?
Going to watch telly with my beloved.
They do rotate OK – but that isn’t the primary point.
January 25 at 10:46 pm
jkisthe1 says:
well see you 2moro then sir
January 25 at 10:44 pm
Hatliz says:
I think GK/DEF combos in the squad is a good way to spread the risk. Play one from each team in close calls and double up when premium fixtures allows it.
January 25 at 10:45 pm
4vets says:
It’s hard to see beyond my own flawed picks as I have gone for Schwarzer/Vorm for some unfathomable reason.
I wouldn’t double up as it makes you either a genius or an idiot, and I always come out on the idiots’ side. That said, I also have Senderos but Ful’s fixtures are well known.
With your team I would go with Schwarzer/Lind, if you must.
I have no idea
January 25 at 10:53 pm
4vets says:
Actually, why have Man U def at all? They are playing a patched up back 4 and they will concede. Over to the new post
January 25 at 10:55 pm
jkisthe1 says:
well thanks for the input
ok how does this look
Schwarzer/Lind
Richards. Verm, Cahill, Santon
have 4.9 for the last slot, maybe Brown or Bardsley?
January 26 at 4:26 am
Hyperion says:
Bit late but hope you get to see this. Going by the numbers outlined in the below link (Chris Glover’s wonderful blogspot, PLFantasy), Krul/Lind is one of the best rotations possible for the next 9 GWs based on the average goals conceded when playing the best fixture from the pair each week.
So I’d keep that rotation if you can afford it (I went with Vorm/Mignolet due to cheapness, wanting to keep Vorm and Evans having arguably more security than Lind) but wouldn’t double up on either. I’d take Brown and Senderos instead of Santon and Evans.

Hyperion says:
Also FYI, average goals conceded when playing best fixture from given pair from GW23-31 with the rotations you’re looking at is as follows (I crunched the numbers from the link I posted):
Krul/Lind = 1.04 goals per game
Schwarzer/Lind = 1.10 gpg
Next best after Krul/Lind is Krul/Vorm, 1.05 gpg.
Defences I looked at were: NEW, SWA, FUL, MNU, SUN, QPR.
Thinking about it you could probably hold Santon because as Doosra said, you’ll be playing Lindy most of the time (I reckon probably 6 out of the next 9 GWs).

ViperStripes says:
Mignolet, Vorm
Brown, Kompany, De Laet, AFerdinand, Simpson
Silva, Bale, Sess, Dempsey, Barton
RVP, Aguero, Zamora
Current wildcard team, but 0.1 short of Mignolet > Lindegaard (hopes Fletcher rises again)

Is Silva, Aguero and Dzeko too much for a GW24-27 wildcard? Fancy them to all score well and this lot seem to rotate pretty well over the next 4 weeks (after which I’d wildcard again).
Sorenson, Lindegaard
Huth, Caulker, Simpson, Senderos, Kelly
Silva, Bale, Dempsey, Walters, HBA/Sigurdsson
RVP, Aguero, Dzeko
